Definitions
- the invention relates generally to the treatment of mucositis, and, more specifically, to the treatment of mucositis using a focused laser beam.
- Mucositis is a complication of cytotoxic cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation.
- cytotoxic cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.
- the rapidly dividing epithelial cells of the gastro-intestinal cells can break down. This leaves the mucosal lining susceptible to many classes of damage, for instance ulceration and infection.
- the mucosa virtually lines every organ in the body from the gastrointestinal tract to the pulmonary tree. This point is important given that we are presenting a novel treatment that has the potential to treat the any mucosal lining affected by cancer treatment.
- the oral cavity including the cheeks, lips, gums, inner cavity, and tonsillar region — all of the soft tissues is the most common location for mucositis.
- Oral Mucositis is likely the most common, debilitating complication of cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy and radiation. Symptoms and sequelae typical of oral mucositis include red, shiny, or swollen mouth and gums, blood in the mouth, sores in the mouth or on the gums or tongue, soreness or pain in the mouth or throat, difficulty swallowing or talking, and xerostomia, mild burning, or pain when eating food.
- oral mucositis presents in an extreme form called confluent mucositis, in which case the mucous membrane of the patient’s entire mouth and tongue can be coated by a white mucus coating that is up to a millimeter thick, making it nearly impossible to eat. It has a significant effect on the patient’s quality of life and can be dose-limiting with respect to the cancer treatment, a highly undesirable consequence of mucositis when the cancer team is trying to adequately treat a malignancy.
- Treatment options today are limited once mucositis sets in. Patients are usually given pain medication and/or antiseptic mouthwash. Beyond that, there is not much doctors can do for the painful condition that, at advanced stages, can inhibit a patient’s ability to eat and speak.
- PBM photobiomodulation
- LED light emitting diode
- LLLT low laser light therapy
- PBM functions according to first law in photochemistry [Grotthuss-Draper law]. According to this law, light must be absorbed by a chemical substance in order to generate photochemical reaction.
- that chemical substance is represented by the respiratory enzyme Cytochrome C oxidase, which is involved in the electron transport chain that occurs in the mitochondria of cells.
- Mitochondria are the “powerhouse” of the cell, the subcellular organelle in which the TCA cycle takes place, allowing an oxygen molecule to be converted into 46 ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the form of energy that is usable by the human body. It is believed that low-level radiation is absorbed by intracellular photoreceptors in the membrane of the mitochondria. The effects include a reduction in pain due to increased endorphins, reduction in inflammation via reduction in interleukin-1 and C-reactive protein and tissue healing effects as a result of increased neovascularization and macrophage activity.
- Applicant recognizes that by administering PBM therapy using a relatively high-powered spot of far red to near infrared (NIR) laser light, rather than diffused light, the effectiveness of the PBM therapy is enhanced significantly. More specifically, Applicant has developed an approach/device which emits a laser light having a precisely controlled spot size. The small spot size compared to a diffused light intensifies the dose of light at the target, thereby eliminating the need to contact the tissue with the device. Indeed, often the oral cavity can be treated without inserting the device in the mouth if the laser spot can be directed at the target area from outside the mouth.
- NIR near infrared
- the high-energy laser spot reaches deep into the tissue to create a more powerful therapeutic anti-inflammatory, anti edema and analgesic effect speeding up the healing process at the same time.
- the small laser spot size in combination with the far-red to NIR light e.g. 800 - 840nm
- the far-red to NIR light is particularly effective at stimulating mitochondria. For example, in one embodiment, an 1-2 minute exposure per 10cm2 of target area was found to be sufficient to initiate mitochondrial stimulation.
- the device is handheld and maneuverable, therefore allowing the user to control the spot size on the target area for a given duration with a high degree of control and precision. This is particularly beneficial given the relatively high energy of the laser spot and the need to control it carefully.
- the device is able to transfer laser energy more efficiently to the anatomical structures to which the therapy is directed in comparison with traditional laser emissions.
- the emissions By having full control of the precise spot size, the emissions, the distribution of energy into the tissues, becomes more homogenous, in contrast to older generation lasers.
- This in part, explains the increased efficacy and longer-term outcomes seen with the approach of the present invention.
- the result is a hand-held portable laser technology which has an optically sophisticated precise and adjustable spot-size laser beam that works on a specific area throughout the oral cavity, including the oropharynx, to (a) reduce intensity and duration of pain; (b) shorten healing and rehabilitation period; and (c) increase quality of life and peace of mind with regards patient’s recuperation.
- the present invention relates to a method for treating an oral cavity malady of a patient, comprising: (a) applying a spot of a laser beam to a target area around the oral cavity, the laser beam having a wavelength of about 800 to 840nm and a power of between 1000 and 4000mW, and wherein the spot has a spot size of about 3 mm to about 3.5 mm; and (b) moving the spot on the target area for a treatment time sufficient to deliver a dose of about 0.5 to about 30 J/cm2 to the target area.
- the present invention relates to a device for treating an oral cavity malady of a patient, comprising: (a) a hand-held housing; (b) at least one laser disposed in the housing and configured for emitting a laser beam have a peak wavelength of 800 - 840nm, and a power of 1000 - 4000 mW; (c) at least one battery for powering the laser; (d) a display screen for displaying at least a duration of time the laser is operating; (e) operator controls for at least starting and stopping the laser.
- Fig. 1 shows the top view of one embodiment of the device of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 shows a side view of the embodiment of Fig. 1.
- the present invention relates to a method for treating an oral cavity malady of a patient, comprising: (a) applying a spot of a laser beam to a target area around the oral cavity, the laser beam having a wavelength of about 800 to 840nm and a power of between 1000 and 4000mW, and wherein the spot has a spot size of about 2 mm to about 10 mm; and (b) moving the spot on the target area for a treatment time sufficient to deliver a dose of about 0.5 to about 30 J/cm2 to the target area.
- a device 100 of the present invention for treating mucositis using photobiomodulation it is shown.
- the device comprises: a hand-held housing 101; at least one laser (not shown) disposed in the housing and configured for emitting a laser beam have a peak wavelength of 800 - 840nm, and a power of 1000 - 4000 mW; at least one battery (not shown) disposed in the housing for powering the laser; a display screen 102 for displaying an indication of at least a treatment time; and operator control 103 for at least starting and stopping the laser.
- oral cavity refers to the mouth and upper part of the throat, and includes, the lips, the lining inside the cheeks and lips, the tongue, the upper and lower gums, the floor of the mouth under the tongue, the bony roof of the mouth, area behind the wisdom teeth, and the upper part of throat; and the term “oral cavity malady” refers to any pain, wound, infection, infestation, etc.
- the oral cavity includes, for example, mucositis, gingivitis, stomatitis, cankers, sores, ulcers, muscular tension problems resulting from procedures that cause inflammation (extractions, root canal work, dental implants, interventions on soft tissue, etc.), post-surgery pain after interventions for inserting dental implants; healing is also promoted (and as a result less analgesics need to be taken), muscle tension preventing bite registration, and trigeminal neuralgia, just to name a few.
- One aspect of the invention is Applicant’s discovery of an effective wavelength for the laser beam for stimulating the mitochondria to treat mucositis.
- is laser beam has a wavelength of about 800 - 840nm, or, in another embodiment, about 810 - 830 nm, or, in another embodiment, about 810 or about 830 nm.
- the laser is a continuous beam laser.
- the laser beam has a power of 1000 to 4000 mW, or, in another embodiment, a power of 1500 to 3000mW, or, in another embodiment, a power of about 2000 mW. In one embodiment, the power is no greater than about 2000mW to reduce the potential for pain, bleeding, ablation, and damage to tissues.
- the dose of laser light for stimulating the mitochondria is a function of several factors including energy of beam, spot size, treatment area and treatment time.
- the dose is about 0.5 to about 30 J/cm2, or, in one embodiment, about 5 to about 25 J/cm2, or, in one embodiment, about 10 to about 24J/cm2, or, in one embodiment, about 2 to about 10 J/cm2, or, in one embodiment, about 2 to about 4J/cm2.
- the dose of light is determined based upon a number of variables including thickness of the tissue being treated.
- Yet another aspect of the invention is Applicant’s control over the dose by varying spot size.
- the dose is inversely proportional to the spot size.
- the spot size is about 1 mm to 10mm, or, in one embodiment, about 2mm to 6mm, or, in one embodiment, about 3 mm to 4mm.
- the spot size of the laser can be controlled by varying the distance between the device and the target area. For example, in one embodiment, varying the distance from about 2 to 5cm results in a spot size change of about 1 to about 4 mm.
- the spot size is controlled by adjusting an optical component (e.g., lens, or focal distance) of the device emitting the laser beam.
- the laser spot Because of the relatively high power of the laser spot, it is important to keep the laser spot moving continuously, and avoiding holding it in one location for too long. For example, suitable results have been obtained by holding the laser beam spot in the same location for no longer than 5 seconds, or for no longer than 3 seconds. Those of skill in the art will be able to determine, without undue experimentation, the proper rate at which to move the laser spot in light of this disclosure.
- the laser spot is applied to tissue by moving the laser spot is a circular motion in the treatment area.
- the device is configured to alert the user that the laser spot has been focused on the same location for too long.
- the device comprises one or more accelerometers to ensure that the device is always moving when the laser beam is being emitted, and to alert the user to modify the rate at which the laser spot is being moved to ensure optimal results.
- the device comprises a timer to ensure that the user delivers the laser energy for the appropriate treatment time.
- this time can be entered by the user into the device.
- the device then monitors the time that the laser is emitting, and either stops emitting the laser beam once the treatment time is reached, or alerts the user that treatment time has expired. In one embodiment, if the user stops the laser beam before treatment time is expired, the timer pauses until the user starts the laser again.
- the treatment area may be extraoral or intraoral.
- the laser does not necessarily go into the mouth unless the patient develops a lesion inside the mouth that needs to target. Instead, in one embodiment, treatment is performed in various sites (e.g., five) along a patient’s face and along the jaw line. In one embodiment, the procedure also involves treating a patient’s tongue. Even if the treatment is intraoral, there is typically no need to insert the device in the patient’s mouth. Rather, if there is line-of-sight between the opening of the patient’s mouth and the target area, the laser beam can be applied from outside the patient’s mouth. It is generally preferred for the patient to wear glasses configured to block or reflect a significant portion of light at about 800 to 840 nm during the procedure.
- the mechanism by which the laser affects cells is understood to be based on bio-stimulation. It is believed that low level radiation is absorbed by intracellular photoreceptors in the membrane of the mitochondria. The effects include a reduction in pain due to increased endorphins, reduction in inflammation via reduction in interleukin-1 and C-reactive protein and tissue healing effects as a result of increased neovascularization and macrophage activity. In one embodiment, the treatment time is sufficient to increase neutrophil count to above 1000 cell/nm 3 , or, in one embodiment, above 1200 cell/nm 3 .
- the method and device of present invention may be used to treat a variety of different oral cavity maladies including mucositis, gingivitis, stomatitis, cankers, sores, ulcers, muscular tension problems resulting from procedures that cause inflammation (extractions, root canal work, dental implants, interventions on soft tissue, etc.), post-surgery pain after interventions for inserting dental implants; healing is also promoted (and as a result less analgesics need to be taken), muscle tension preventing bite registration, and trigeminal neuralgia. Additionally, the device and method of the present invention can be used for preoperative treatments as well.
- the device 100 of the present invention is shown. It should be understood that this embodiment is just one embodiment, and the device may take on different forms.
- the housing 101 of the device 100 is angled. Although the angle in Fig. 2 is shown to be 39°, the device may be configured with other angles including, for example, from about 10° to about 60°, or from 20° to about 50°, or from 30° to about 40°.
- a power supply supplies power from batteries (e.g., rechargeable batteries) located in the housing to one or more laser diodes, and a microcontroller (not shown) provides timing functionality.
- batteries e.g., rechargeable batteries
- a microcontroller not shown
- a removable cap may be used to prevent accidental laser emission.
- depressing a tail switch 104 powers on the unit when operating by battery power.
- the display 102 illuminates.
- Display 102 displays treatment information to the user.
- an embedded software program controls the timing of the treatment as below above. The unit is powered down by pressing the power button.
